Impossible to improve on perfection.......perfect fits the bill

 

[Guest]

Very tiny & very bright! Nearly had to get the sunglasses out!


1/72 is bad enough, but 1/144 is just plain crazy .... see what I did there?


I'll get me coat!

 

[monica]

just superb Tony,for a wee,one fantastic,build lov the bright color looks great,


very well done,

 

[papa 695]

I've got a funny feeling your trying to tell us this is small Tony. .


Awesome work there mate until the pictures of it in your hand it looks like a 1/72 if not bigger,

 

[flyjoe180]

The canopy framing looks a little too fat, but given the overall miniature size of the kit that is amazing work and I doubt you could get the framing any thinner without going insane Tony. A shelf space saver that one Great build!

 

[yak face]

Thanks guys , yes i thought the vertical canopy frames were a bit wide too but theyre quite prominent on the moulding so i couldnt make them any thinner unless i sanded them all off !! Cheees tony

 

[Guest]

I agree with polux Tony it is immaculate beautiful work.

Tony I thought I was looking at 1/72 kit thought this is bloody good then saw it in the palm of your hand and reliased holy crap this is 144th scale bloody brilliant mate

Thanks Scott , Colin , much appreciated . I forgot to add a link to the build earlier so here it is http://www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/1-144-na-t6g-texan-by-valom.32341/ cheers tony

 

[john i am]

Amazing on any scale but @ 1/144 scale very impressive.I remember doing that hurricane you gave me at Cosford last year so I now how tricky these little suckers can be .

 

[Guest]

wow is all I can say. the 1/72 one is already small and how you painted the canopy framing is beyond me...outstanding.

[yak face]

Thanks Theuns , I know you really like this aircraft and after building one and doing a bit of background research I can see why , its a very characterful old bird the 'spam can'! cheers tony

 

[Guest]

I just like it because the NA engineers designed it so that a mechanic can remove the fuselage side pannels and have full access to the "inn-erds" of the plane without having to crawl down a dark cramped fuse and have bits and pieces sticking into your back LOL.

[Gern]

Stunning!

 

[PaulTRose]

wow.......just wow!


that one in the palm of your hand is a brilliant pic

 

[colin m]

It's the way to go if you're short of space ! what a great little build. Nice colour as well, I might need that shade soon..

 

[Guest]

Stunning work, no idea how you do it in this scale.

 

[The Migrant]

Brilliant small-scale work, Tony. Didn't know this kit existed, your build has inspired me to order one (my wife passes along her thanks).
